Sharnfold Farm

Em va agradar That you have full access to the farm at all times especially having kids so that was great.

No em va agradar Toilets a bit grubby and needed cleaning plus no toilet roll.
Road noise was horrendous from all round unfortunately.

Em va agradar Plenty of activities included
Small camp site
Family friendly

Will DEFINITELY be booking to stay again if they open the farm up for camping again

No em va agradar Lack of toilets (all toilets were shared use with day visitors) and due to this the toilet roll ran out a few times (thoughbstaff replenished once they were made aware)

Em va agradar Amazing place for kids, plenty to do, handy shop/Cafe, kids loved the animals and corn maze especially. Pub two mins away if you don’t feel like cooking. Fresh drinking water tap. Peaceful at night.

No em va agradar No showers or washing up area for campers. Toilets next to main gate hot water only in one.

Em va agradar We recently stayed at Sharnfold Farm Campsite and had a really enjoyable time overall. The site itself is fairly basic but very well kept, with a nice atmosphere in the camping field. Despite being mostly families with children, everyone was considerate and fairly quiet, which made for a relaxed stay.

We knew in advance that there wouldn’t be showers, but having even a very simple outdoor one would have made a huge difference to our experience. Similarly, washing-up facilities and the option to rent a campfire would be great additions in the future.

What really stood out, though, was the farm itself. There is so much for children to do and explore – it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making it more than just a farm with a playground. There are lots of magical little areas for kids to discover, which really made up for the more basic camping facilities.

A couple of small negatives: we pitched our tent nearer the road, which we didn’t think much of at the time, but it turned out to be quite noisy overnight. I’d recommend bringing earplugs or choosing a pitch closer to the farm entrance instead. Also, we had hoped to walk over to the pub next door, but the roadside felt unsafe – cars drive fast, and the grass verge was full of nettles and brambles. We ended up driving instead, even though it was only a very short distance. If the greenery could be cut back, it would make walking much safer for families with children and dogs.

Overall, a lovely stay at a charming little campsite. With a few added facilities, it could be even better – but the atmosphere and the farm experience made it a memorable trip for us.

No em va agradar Not having a shower or washing up facilities

Em va agradar Friendly staff, nice to have the option of going round the farm so great with kids, and also other families camping so children had fun. Also felt very safe. It's convenient for Airbourne which is why we stayed. Grass is also not too long, not patchy, and field is reasonably level with mature trees surrounding it and blackberry bushes which the children enjoyed. It's also very nice to have a relatively late check out time of 11am.

No em va agradar It desperately needs a shower block and a washing up station. At the moment the pricing is really not up to standard - it cost us £60 per night with no electric or basic facilities, which is more than double what you'd expect. The toilets are also not brilliant - there are only two, and the toilet roll dispensers and hot water taps were faulty. There is one outdoor cold water tap which doesn't have any indication of whether it's drinking water. Right now the benefit of the farm is the only thing really going for it, but I don't think we'll stay again if we're more organised and find somewhere cheaper with better facilities.

Em va agradar The farm was included in price.

5 min from bust stop into Eastbourne, however the walk is along a busy road, journey is about 40 minutes and costs £3 per adult, 50p for a child each way.

No em va agradar *£30 a night to park in a field was over priced, sadly we had to come to the area so had no choice but to book this site last minute as every where was fully booked, however it does include entry into farm, maybe an option should be available if you don’t want entry and maybe you could receive a discount.
**Road noise was awful, especially on a Saturday night! Lots of cars and motorbikes racing up and down the road.
***Toilets were not very clean, not sure if it was mud or facaes on the walls, the pipes had not been wiped in a long while, build up of dirt and dust.
****The lock on the gate which is locked at 7pm every night was not easy to unlock.

Em va agradar It was peaceful, well kept and clean.
The owner is a lovely guy who came to check that all was well.
A nice farm and lake but areas restricted to dogs which is understandable although I would have fished the lake if my dog was allowed with me on a lead.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

No em va agradar Lack of shower facilities really let's it down and the amount of spiders in the toilets would scare off a lot of people.

Em va agradar Great communication from the hosts and a very easy stay. Lots of activities for the younger children to do. The maze was excellent.
